    List Mgmt. Trade Targets

    We know what 2021 is going to look like. We need to be already well done the track of luring some trade targets for 2022. I’ll start with one, Kane Farrell from Port Adelaide. Got dropped this week and is in a stacked team. I can easily see him playing half back for us. Has one of the best left...

    Giants and Private Ownership

    On Footy Classified tonight it was revealed that two American billionaires are interested in owning the Giants. Apparently one of them currently advises the Whitehouse. It’s also a reason why they might be looking at playing a game in California. They would need $30 mill a season. Which would be...

    Geelong trying to lure Cameron

    In Vic media today. They are trying to nab him when he becomes a free agent to replace the aging Tomahawk. My view is the club should find out now if he is going to stay or go. If he wants to go, trade him before he becomes a free agent. He would be easily worth two first rounders. I want him...

    Strategy “I’m going home” - Cripps warns Gold Coast not to draft the South Australians

    Listening to SOS and Jason Cripps this morning openly talking about luring interstate players back from the Gold Coast in a couple of years... basically threatening the Suns that if they don’t roll over and trade picks they will use a ‘go home’ factor (even though they’re from Vic). This is in a...

    Worst umpiring decision this year is....

    I’ll claim the free given to Isaac Smith against us this year. He fell over... no Giants player touched him and he was given a shot at goal for it.

    Best and Worst Call

    What's been your best and worst call. Mine: Best - Start of this season I said to watch Zac Williams... star. Worst - I've had a few but after the North game last year I said Lobb wouldn't make it. Boy was I wrong.

    2015 GIANTS Gamestyle

    Watching the saints game it seems we are continuing to favour a high handball to kick ratio in our attack. To me, this is going to make it easy for quality defences to shut us down. I would love to see us use kicks as our first option more regularly. Thoughts?

    NAB 3 - Swans - Autopsy

    Good: Defensive talls. Obviously Sydney had no talls, but Phil Davis in particular was excellent. JC. Is this the second coming? Ability to run out games continues to improve. Bad: Composure and decision making, whilst it is improving, still has a way to go. Ugly: WHE's injury... Hope it's...

    The Problem

    We are not going to have anyone retire for at least 3 years. What's more, the vast majority of our list will not retire for about 10 years. As such, kids that we draft from here on in are going to really struggle to get a game. There might be one or two, such as Pickett, who have an exceptional...

    Gamestyle - 2015

    Looking at our list we would have to be crazy not to take advantage of our running power. We have an abundance of elite runners: scully, palmer, Tomlinson, Whitfield, Kelly, etc. So I imagine we would look to use the run and overlap where appropriate. We should be trying to get the ball into...

    Garry Lyon

    Interested in people's thoughts on his work. He seems to have something against GWS. For example, on the footy show the Thursday night before we played melbourne he inferred that gws were going to tank, saying we had put away a lot of our guns for the season. Oh how wrong he was. On the radio...

    Favourite part of beating swans?

    So many to choose from... Maybe frosts tackle on the sideline that ended up popping his shoulder, or Whitfield slotting it from outside 50 in the dying stages. What's yours?

    Opinion Best 22 Rd 1 2014

    Obviously things will change over the trade period, but I thought it might be worth proposing a best 22 to see what areas we really do need to stengthen. We've had a while to look at everyone and I'm interested to see the different views people have on who they think should be in the team for rd...

    List Mgmt. 2013 draft and trading

    Who do you think we should draft at years end? What do we need? Which mature players should we be targeting? Personally I think if we have number 1 pick, we should take Boyd (at this stage). Patton, Cameron and Boyd sounds hard to match up on! As for mature bodies, no free agents seem to suit...
